HOWEVER the mobo is still the original mobo that had the G3 CPU. This can cause other issues such as not being able to boot from a target disk via firewire or RAM limitations or even CPU speed limitations. So it's always good to indicate the original makeup of your system and then include any upgrades you've done to it so people here can get a better understanding of how to respond to issues or questions. With certain upgrades (RAM, graphics card, even overclocking) a G3 can run Tiger very well. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
